16 TECHNOLOGY www.guestlist.net I Issue 37 / MARCH 2012 ssue 37 / MAR-APR 2012 REVIEW:PIONEER DJM-850 This month, Pioneer has delivered the latest in a long-line of industry-standard mixers, the DJM-850. This 4-channel mixer is equipped with a 24bit/96kHz integrated high performance USB soundcard and USB ports that allow for simple and convenient connectivity with DJ software like Serato Scratch and Traktor Skratch. A crucial feature for the increasingly digital industry of DJing. Alongside the standard Pioneer effects, there are the additional Beat Color and Sound Color FX that afford even greater control over the manipulation of the texture of the sound. It also comes in either black or silver. Of course, the DJM-850 has all the standard high-quality sound components of pretty much every other mixer in the series, but many people have already voiced their irritation at Pioneer for this version in particular. The differences between this and the DJM-900, which was released a mere twelve months ago, are – in all honesty – absolutely minor, resulting in claims that Pioneer are simply flooding the market. There's no doubt it's an impressive mixer with up-to- the-minute features for the most tech-crazy of DJs, but it certainly seems to be an unnecessary addition to an already substantial Pioneer mixer collection.
